Did your original involve fecal matter and the cranium?

I forget the number of ways to drop an F-bomb, but I originally included them all. And a whole lot of other things to never say in the presence of Mom or any other lady.

He was making fun of celebrities and the media. Not of the water shortage. He’s showing that it takes ridiculous lengths to bring attention to crises like the worldwide water shortage.

While at the same time at a podium with the official logo of water.org. Did you even go to his site?

Maybe you have an ‘in’ with Matt Damon to know his head? Are you friends–family, even? Damon could explain that himself instead of you being a mouthpiece. The rest of us ‘non-intellectuals’ have to go by what we see, then do more research. What I have found so far is that Damon is a typical and predictable Hollywood celeb.

In my estimation, any ‘highlights’ he sought for his cause through ‘satire’ falls flat.

You see, when Hollywoodies start or get involved with some cause, they go by the Do Something (TM) idea. “Send money!” is all they cry and appeal. But where does that money go, and what is done with it?

Does Damon have a plan–a solid move to make? Instead of satire, he would have scored more points by saying, “This is my goal. We can’t save everyone right away, but there is this village that needs water. I–THEY–need donations so I can send a team there to help drill a well so these people can have clean water to drink. We need money to pay for their passports, visas, and many other things to make this happen. The volunteers are in place, and her are their names. Would you please help?”

Much better than satire, if Damon is serious. Though a severe cynic, I believe he is. He’s going about the totally wrong way, in my estimation.

I think this might be a pseudo-satire. It is a satire on a press conference from a silly Hollyweird denizen, but I think it’s intended to just draw attention to the cause. You go there, wondering if the crap-in is real, and you find out about his new pet project.

(BTW, I loved the ‘open mic’ bit, “Reporters are dikks.”)

Water.org is Damon’s new cause, and the headlines there are largely accurate. Water is becoming less available, even in the American Midwest though our shortages aren’t severe. In other places in the world, the available water is tainted with cholera and God knows what else.

If Damon was trying some kind of satire, he probably lost some potential donors with it.

Some of the things on water.org look a little hard to believe. For instance. The raising of money pictures and amounts. The stereotypical cartoon of black woman with bowls on their heads. They don’t strike me as very PC.

Oh stop. Don’t tell me you all believe this is true. You know this is a comic bit. It’s funny! Yes, its satire. Stephen Root played one of the reporters, dead giveaway. Those were actors playing reporters. Is this a scene from a new movie? Maybe Damon should stick with comedy.
